Paris -- What does BHV stand for?
 
I keep seeing this mentioned for shopping. What store are you all referring to?

Hello, <BR>I don't know what it stands for, but I'm pretty sure the sign on the store just says BHV. I shopped in one (I'm not sure if it is a chain) that was on the Rue de Rivoli, near the Hotel de Ville. Our hotel was just a few blocks down the street towards the Bastille.

Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville is to Home Depot what Neiman-Marcus is to Macy's. <BR> <BR>Takes some explaining at Customs "yes, sir, I bought $800 worth of door knobs" <BR>
